Pretty solid, for me, at the moment in terms of bp stuff. Have not been really psychotic for a bit. I always forget how much stress coping with that places on me. It is exhausting and I am grateful for a break.

I have made a big personal decision in terms of my longstanding interest in advocating for people with bipolar disorder and their civil rights, which I believe are routinely trampled upon in my country. More to folloow on that. It feels really, really good to be taking action. Lemonade from lemons, I spose. Also, looking into possibly a bit more education in the Human Rights realm. There are a few good programs, two, at a couple of my alma maters, so, might help me, possibly, with admissions. Don't really want to live in NYC again, but I suppose I could do it if I had to. I far prefer Boston. Another good one at Oxford, which looks quite appealing. Another in Perth, one of my favaorite places.

So, we will see where this all goes. Viktor Frankl sagely pointed out that we needed to try to find meaning out of our trials. That we must. I think taking these actions, for me, is part of doing just that. And it feels really good.
